LPGA players will have to pay extra attention to their dress standards after the governing body released a new dress code standard. Unless otherwise told "no", golf clothes are acceptable.

Heather Daly-Donofrio, the LGA tour's chief communications and tour operations officer, told Golf Digest that the goal was for players "to present themselves in a professional manner to reflect a positive image for the game".

She went on to suggest that someone can look professional in leggings.

The enforcement of dress codes which disproportionately impact women, from workplaces to planes, has been increasingly under attack by campaigners who argue that telling women what to wear is unfair and contributes to body-shaming.
